Einleitung

This is a Sony MZ-R700 minidisc, Sony's attempt to provide an alternative to portable CD players, right before the mp3 revolution. Minidiscs were particularly popular in Europe and Asia but the devices didn't catch on as much in North America. This model supports MDLP and was capable of recording up to 4 full-length audio CDs onto one small minidisc (via Sony's proprietary ATRAC format).

Carefully remove the unit from the outside casing. Use a spudger or a small screwdriver to wedge it out all along the sides. The plastic casing is quite malleable and has some give to it, so don't be overly gentle.

Next, remove the front panel from the main part of the unit. The ribbon cable connects the two. To remove, gently pull out the dark brown connector from both sides of the beige holder. This will release the ribbon cable which can then be pulled out and separated. There are three in total, two on the outside, one under the battery case and one on the lower part of the unit. The third one is on the inside of the unit.

Gently pry the door away from the metal enclosure. Next, remove the bar on the side of the enclosure. Pry a flathead screwdriver between them and gently remove it. Finally, remove the black gear (above the green one, removed here) which will reveal one more, tiny screw that needs to be removed. At this point you may remove any remaining latches connected to the unit. Simply pry with a small flathead screwdriver and remove them.
